I received an email on the 12th letting me know that I was one of 185 lucky denizens of the rejected pile of Chaosium's Basic RolePlaying Design Challenge. Congratulations to all the winners. Lots of cool stuff there.

Alas, my name is not on the list. Congratulations to all the winners. There are some fascinating looking games here, to be certain. I’m looking forward to seeing some of them when they launch. Please visit the Chaosium blog and vote for your favorite! My entry is still in my notes. I’m probably going to repurpose it and publish the thing elsewhere, likely under a simpler system. I like BRP, but…

I'm still trying to work on my BRP Design Challenge entry. It's not always easy. I had to look it up. Apparently there's this thing called "sleep" that people actually do. Hmm. I'll have to look into it.

The Deadline for the BRP Design Challenge draws ever closer. Here’s the link again. I probably won’t stop talking about it until everything is said and done. It’s a great contest and a good system to be working with. BRP: Universal Game Engine has the benefit of being incredibly well playtested over decades of Pendragon, Call of Cthulhu, and Runequest. The game is fairly intuitive if one has…

Please consider supporting the site on Ko-Fi if you can. I've had a long day. Lots going on. Going to go sleep for a few hours now. Thank you for being here.

Yup. I got to play single parent today. I’ll be really glad when my wife returns tomorrow. I’m wiped. You don’t realize how much someone contributes until they go out of town for a day. Oof. I need to get rolling on my BRP Design Challenge submission. Deadline is coming up faster than I realized. So much to cover yet. I think I can safely say I’m just putting in the one submission. Disclaimer:…

Lots of stuff to talk about now that the First day of May is upon us. I've got multiple irons in the fire, the most important being Chaosium's BRP Design Challenge. I'm immersed in the event, but I'm woefully behind schedule at the moment.

Ah, the First of May. This is going to be pretty short because I need to get rolling on my BRP Design Challenge submission. I’m still working on the first one and I don’t know if there’s going to be a second one at this point. I’ve got to get a lot of what’s in my head down onto the keyboard before I’m finished. Disclaimer: Statements expressed in this article are strictly my opinion. If you…

One month left until the deadline for Chaosium's Basic RolePlaying: Universal Game Engine Design Challenge. I'm starting to feel the time crunch.

The May 31 deadline for entries rapidly approaches. Today is the first day I really started freaking out about the deadline. Putting together pitches, budget, manuscript, and other details honestly looks easy on paper. I’ve definitely been learning a lot during this process so far. The biggest challenge I face today is getting from this neato idea that’s been running around in my head for years…

Putting in lots of work on my entry for the Basic RolePlaying Design Challenge. I'm happy and grateful that Chaosium has extended this opportunity to all of us.

I never thought I’d say it, but weekends are for writing. I’m working on my BRP Design Challenge entry. Sometimes I have to choose between blogging and working on the game. This BRP entry is so much fun to work on and I’m dying to say more, but it’s probably best not to do so before the judging ends. If you’re working on an entry of your own, I wish you luck. If you haven’t heard of it yet, you…

Glad to be free of the [REDACTED] corporate overlords' control and free to live my life's purpose. Embracing the joy that is the BRP Design Challenge today.

Who’d have imagined back on July 19, 2021, we’d be here? I’m incredibly happy and grateful for being here right now. When I was released from [REDACTED] corporation all those years back, I was incredibly sad and very worried about what the future would hold. I was also glad to be out of that 🦆🦆🦆🦆 job and closer to my life’s purpose than ever.   My intention was always to have peace, freedom to…

Chaosium's Jason Durall talks about the BRP Design Challenge and some of his work at Chaosium. It's a good watch.

Jason Durall from Chaosium talked about what he does at Chaosium and about the BRP Design Challenge. I never get tired of talking about the Basic RolePlaying: Universal Game Engine Design Challenge. I think this is one of the best opportunities to come along in years. I highly encourage everyone to watch the video. Lots of good advice there. Thank you for being here today with me. I appreciate…
